Print Degree Planner (opens a new window) |

Requirements are the same as for the B.A. degree except that MATH 330 , MATH 335 , and either MATH 341 or MATH 361 are required to fulfill requirement B. In addition, students must take MATH 390 as one of their 300-level electives. Students must also complete the certification requirements set forth in the School of Education program description. See education.geneseo.edu for more information.

Minimum Competence Requirement

A grade of C- or better is required for ALL courses submitted in fulfillment of the major in Mathematics. Students may not enroll in any course having prerequisites unless the minimum grade of C- has been earned in the prerequisites or unless special permission has been granted in writing by the course instructor. Prerequisite courses may not be taken after successful completion of any subsequent course

Department Writing Requirement

MATH 239 and MATH 324 are two required courses in which mathematical writing is emphasized and taught. Writing opportunities (homework, quizzes, exams) will be graded for clear, precise exposition as well as for mathematical content. The department’s writing requirement is satisfied by successfully completing both of these courses.
